culture
At Cytokinetics, we provide more than a job, we provide an opportunity to contribute to something bigger than any one of us. Every employee contributes something unique to our shared goal of improving the lives of people with diseases characterized by muscle dysfunction, weakness or loss, and it is only with our employees’ tenacity and compassion for patients that we can make progress towards our goals.
We recognize that every person has something different to offer, but it is because of our unique skillsets that we are stronger as a team. We believe that a commitment to a diverse, inclusive and respectful culture goes beyond what is “right” to do; it is foundational to building a successful, creative, and science driven company, and essential to develop a community of colleagues who are impassioned by our purpose to improve lives.
Patients are our North Star. We build our science around patients and their families through authentic and ongoing engagement. Read more about how we turn our commitment to patients into tangible action in our 2021 white paper: Patient Centricity at Cytokinetics: It Comes From The Heart.
